Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae)

Abstract Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong to the large bHLH transcription factor family.Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have been found in basal eudicots, monocots, basal angiosperms and gymnosperms.Nevertheless, fun

LINC00511/hsa-miR-573 axis-mediated high expression of Gasdermin C associates with dismal prognosis and tumor immune infiltration of breast cancer

Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is considered the second commonest human carcinoma and the most incident and mortal in the female population.Despite promising treatments for breast cancer, mortality rates of metastatic disease remain high.Gasdermin C (GSDMC) is an affiliate of the gasdermin (GSDM) family, which is involved in the process of pyroptosis.
